Hello BCA! I’m Kate Mackley and Kate Mackley Media is my work as a freelance photographer. I began my career in photography photographing bands and live music and still am excited to shoot performances of any type. I work using mainly strobes for on-location portraiture, plus I have a portable studio.

I am on staff at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas as the Senior Graphic Designer in Plastic Surgery and previously as a medical photographer. I am the jack-of-all-trades visual communicator for our Department, working as the presentation designer, marketing designer, medical illustrator, and videographer. I shoot, edit, and incorporate surgical video for presentation, patient education, and web use. I interview patients, residents, and doctors for internal and external marketing videos and design e-newsletters and marketing brochures, and create medical illustrations from stock art. I work on our chairman’s team developing social media communications and look forward to doing the same as Director of Communications for BCA and meeting everyone, either virtually or at BIOCOMM 2018.
